Easy Homemade Beef Au Jus Gravy Mix
You won’t ever buy Au Jus Gravy again when you see how easy it is to make and store. One recipe (4½ tsp) of the dry gravy mix makes 2 cups of gravy which is equal to one packet of store bought gravy. There will be plenty of dry mix left over for more dinners.
MAKE THE DRY MIX:
-
4 Tbsp beef bouillon powder
-
4 tsp onion powder
-
2 tsp dried parsley
-
1/4 tsp pepper
-
1/4 tsp garlic powder
-
4 Tbsp cornstarch
-
Add all of the dry ingredients above to a small food processor or blender.
-
Process until thoroughly combined.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 months.
MAKE THE GRAVY:
-
In a saucepan add 4½ tsp of the dry mix above (same as 1 oz dry packet of store bought).
-
Whisk in 2 cups of water until combined.
-
Whisking constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat.
-
Once boiling, reduce to a low heat, whisk and simmer for 3-5 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly then serve.
Keep in mind that Au Jus Gravy is much thinner than beef gravy. It can be used for French dip sandwiches, roast beef and prime rib, grilled lamb, veal, chicken, pork chops, hamburger steak, shepherd’s pie, mashed potatoes, rice or noodles, roasted veggies, soup and stews, crusty bread or potatoes.

A good gravy makes a meal
Thank you Derrick!
Now I’m hungry for a French dip.
This would be perfect!
Now who would have thought it would be so easy to make this wonderful sauce myself? Thank you Diane, another recipe that I will save 😁.

I can have gravy with anything, including a straw! But the favourite is to have it with mashed potatoes and a nice prime rib. Thanks for this recipe. It looks so good!
Haha I loved the straw comment. Gravy must go on mashed potatoes! Thank you AB!
Nice tip! Thanks, Diane.
You’re welcome Linda.
We all can save a bundle if we follow you Diane!
Thank you Linda, you are good for my ego! Lol
Perfect. Buying gravy examples just how much we are hooked on conveniences.
Absolutely and it is so simple to measure out the ingredients to make your own.
Homemade is the best!
Very handy!
I went for years failing at making gravy and I finally discovered how easy it can be.
